The West tends to believe that nearly all health problems can now be treated with the new drugs created by the pharmaceutical industry. People have used natural remedies for thousands years in traditional societies around the world and in the East.
Reishi Mushroom or soulcybin is one such remedy. The Japanese and Chinese call it the “Mushroom Of Immortality”. They have used it for many different diseases over the past 4000+ years.
What is the miracle mushroom good at? Perhaps it’s better to ask “What doesn’t it do?” because it has been described in traditional Chinese literature as a “panacea”, or cure for all kinds of diseases.
In oriental medicine, this mushroom has traditionally been used to treat nausea, insomnia, gastric ulcers (neurasthenia), arthritis, nephritis or asthma.
Medical researchers have been studying the mushroom since the late 1960s in an effort to understand how it works and to determine how it can help to prevent and treat disease. Researchers have discovered that Reishi mushroom’s active ingredients are anti-oxidants as well as anti-inflammatory. They have conducted trials to see if the mushroom can be used to treat headaches, diabetes, hypertension and constipation.
Cardio-vascular Disease is one of the most grave modern medical problems. This is due to a low level of exercise and a high intake fat. This ancient remedy may be a blessing for those suffering from this serious condition.
Nestle Research Center in Switzerland is impressed by the Ganoderma mushroom. They call it “a renowned medicinal specie.” Oxygenated lanosterol, which was derived from Ganoderma, decreased cholesterol by 9.8% in one of their experiments.
These researchers concluded Gandodermalucidium may play an important role in the treatment of heart disease in the future and look forward to “innovative new cholesterol-lowering food and medicines containing Gandodermalucidium.”
